I'd be waiting for the Black (anodized or enamel), professional 
version.  But really I'd be waiting for them to hit the used market.  
for the amount of times I need a RF camera I can revert to film...

I guess the real question is would you have been carrying the lovely X100?

At least I always have my cell phone (with cam which is a lot more
acceptable in quality than they used to be), I usually have my s90 but
I suspect that I wouldn't always be carrying my X100 (if or when I
have one).

I want to buy one specifically to stuff in my saddle bag, and to carry with

sort of shot quite a lot, but the phone is just too slow to catch most of
them. At least with a proper camera I'll only have myself to blame.

I have taken a lot of photos with my phone, and even posted some of them on
my Best of 2010 page:
http://www.web-options.com/Pick2010/. Nine of these were taken with my
phone.

I also have a page of photos taken around where I work, all done with the
phone:
http://www.web-options.com/EC1/

Phones can make good photos, but like all cameras there are things they
can't do, and that means they impose a certain style of photography, often
rather static, which has an interesting randomness do it resulting from the
shutter delay, and an agreeably poor quality like a Holga or similar.

What you can't do, at least not with mine, is Images A La Sauvette, to quote
a phrase, with any real predictability.

The case in point is the shot I showed which took this thread off its
original course - I'd have nailed that with a better camera. I could have
done any of the phone pictures with, for instance, my M8, but there is only
a very small subset of my M8 pictures that I could have taken with the
phone. That's the difference a good camera makes. 

The difference something like the X100 will make over something like the M8
is that I will be happy to stick it in my saddle bag every day to take to 
from work, and occasionally leave it overnight in my locker.
